President Donald Trump<\/a> said the U.S. must acquire Greenland \u2014 not lease it \u2014 arguing the Arctic territory lacks defenses and warning that Russia or China would move in if Washington does not act, a move he said is critical to U.S. and NATO security.<\/p>\n

While speaking with reporters on Air Force One on Sunday night, Trump was asked about Greenland and whether the U.S. had made an offer to acquire the territory from Denmark.<\/p>\n

“I haven\u2019t done that. Greenland should make the deal because Greenland does not want to see Russia or China take over,” he said. “Basically, their defense is two dog sleds. You know that? You know what their defense is? Two dog sleds.<\/p>\n

“In the meantime, you have Russian destroyers and submarines, and China destroyers and submarines all over the place,” Trump continued. “We\u2019re not going to let that happen, and if it affects NATO<\/a>, then it affects NATO. But, you know, they need us more than we need them, I will tell you that right now.”<\/p>\n

The president was also clear that his administration is not talking about leasing Greenland short term, but only about acquiring the Danish territory.<\/p>\n

“If we don\u2019t do it, Russia or China will, and that\u2019s not going to happen when I’m president,” Trump said.<\/p>\n

The remarks followed renewed pushback from Greenland\u2019s leadership<\/a>, which rejected calls from Trump and members of his administration for the U.S. to take control of the island.<\/p>\n

Several Trump administration officials have echoed the president\u2019s position, arguing that Greenland\u2019s strategic location makes U.S. control a national security imperative.<\/p>\n

Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen and four party leaders said Friday night that the island has no interest in becoming part of the U.S. or Denmark, according to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Greenland, a self-governing Danish territory and longtime U.S. ally, has repeatedly dismissed Trump\u2019s suggestions that the U.S. should acquire the island.<\/p>\n

“We don\u2019t want to be Americans, we don\u2019t want to be Danes, we want to be Greenlanders,” the leaders said, adding that Greenland\u2019s “future must be decided by the Greenlandic people.”<\/p>\n

The statement also criticized Washington\u2019s rhetoric toward the island. “As Greenlandic party leaders, we would like to emphasize once again our wish that the United States\u2019 contempt for our country ends,” it said.<\/p>\n

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned last week that Trump\u2019s annexation comments<\/a> could threaten NATO itself, saying any U.S. military action against a NATO ally would effectively end the alliance and the security framework that has existed since World War II.<\/p>\n

“If the U.S. chooses to attack another NATO country militarily, then everything stops,” Frederiksen told Danish broadcaster TV2.<\/p>\n

Nielsen underscored that position the same day, writing in a Facebook post that Greenland is “not an object of superpower rhetoric.”<\/p>\n
